+1 for being able to send parameters to custom escapes.

However, I'm not sold that using the pipe to chain escapes is really 
necessary.  I agree that the pipe symbol is great because it already 
carries the desired meaning because its used in numerous other 
contexts.  However, implementing it seems to me to be more trouble than 
its worth especially since the comma is already implemented (and used in 
the wild) for chaining escapes.

I think that using pipes as the delimiter for chaining escapes may be 
another bike shed to paint in the future :)

P.S.: I actually like the first syntax because IMO it allows for more 
effective separation of storage and display, but to each his own.
